Post your PFS #s, Day Job checks, Initiative and Perception Modifiers and any purchases that you want me to log on your Chronicle Sheets!
I dind't notice the link was posted, but saw Basalte's name in the threads.
I think Flinders, my bard archaeologist would be helpful here, as we seem to have frontliners and ranged taken care of.
@Basalte: I have no idea. Some people ask me to track purchases on their chronicles for them and I am happy to do so.
Got it!

PFS# 21019-1
Scarab Sages
Day Job:
Initiative: +5
Perception: +19
Additional notes for the GM: Hal travels everywhere mounted on his axe beak unless otherwise specified, will take 10 Perception on every door we come across, will make a Ride check (+22) to negate the first hit on his mount in any given round, and very often uses his Infiltrator adaption to boost his AC by 2 in 10 minute increments (at minimum, he will do so at the start of each combat, or before if he suspects one soon).
And if anyone is interested:
Type: Scout (mounted archer)
Hal is best-placed near the head of the party as a scout, usually mounted on his trusty axe beak companion, Th'reiwa-don. In combat, his MO is to move in close so his mount can get in a bite and then shoot the living crap out of a single target until it dies. Only against a creature with large AoE attacks will he move himself and his mount away to attack from a safe distance. Unless having especial difficulty scoring a hit, he always employs a full attack making use of Manyshot, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, and Precise Shot. He always activates his infiltrator ability in a combat (or, better yet, before) to bring his AC up to 30 and relies on Mounted Combat to keep his mount alive.
Halbarad spent his youth among the dunes and tombs of Osirion, where he developed distinct a hatred of the ever-pestilent undead. Tiring of the many ghouls and mummies that inhabited his native land but still fond of the desertlands, he later found a home in Qadira after a brief stint among the agents of Grandmaster Torch. Though he holds little love of Qadiran trade interests, preferring the natural world to men and commerce, Hal is not without vanity and accrued of number of titles (and many privileges associated therein) during his hunting forays in the forests south of Katheer. More recently, following Trade Prince al'Hakam's founding of the Exchange and the simultaneously resurrection of the Order of the Jeweled Sages, the Grand Lodge negotiated the sale of Halbarad's considerable expertise in dealing with Osirion ruins for the mutual profit of the Exchange, the Scarab Sages, and Hal himself. He thus now works as a tomb-raider adventurer for the revived order while maintaining rather cordial relations with his former faction.

Basalte has been updated to level 7.2, though I will only be able to play him since December 27. At least it's already done so that I'll be ready to play on that day.
By the way, could Flinders cast shield from my wand into my vibrant purple prism ioun stone, please? There's no sorcerer/wizard in the group, so it's a DC 20 UMD check.
Agree with Basalte. You can take 10.

I'll be back from holidays tomorrow! Very limited connection until then, unfortunately.

No worries!

And I should've pointed out my tactics with Sahrek, my wolf. Sahrek is a large wolf and Desmond sends him in to attack and (hopefully) trip enemies.
I've tried to make Desmond pretty balanced between ranged and melee combat. Most of the time he'll plunk the baddies with arrows until they get up close, then he brings out Dingo - his Smine-forged falchion.
I wasn't even aware you had a wolf... Haha
I don't mind, if you don't. Feel free to join in and replace the AFK Living Monolith. :D

This is just a reminder that I'll be leaving for my honeymoon in New Zealand tomorrow and will be gone until January 13. Hopefully I will have time to check in a few times while I'm gone but if I'm holding things up go ahead and bot me. I'll be back in full force in mid January! Thanks everyone!
Congratulations! New Zealand is an excellent choice. Enjoy!

DM Strider - a few things:
With only a single action, Terrill would not have teleported into position to be attacked - would like to retcon that, but I'll understand if you'd rather not.
Have you rolled initiative? I couldn't find it, just wondering why some of us are bolded and some not, and when the plants act. Terrill seems to be in bold, does that mean he has a round to act now?
As mentioned in this post, Terrill healed himself and is at 68/69 hp. My stats line is now updated, yours says he has 59/69 hp.
/administrative pestering
That's fine. It is why I asked if you wanted to do the same.
Not in initiative because you all are taking a coordinated surprise round action. I assume level 7 through 11s are well versed enough to coordinate a surprise round in situations like this. Once everyone has done a surprise round action, then we will do Init.
I bolded Terrill because I was letting you choose what to do (teleport or choose another action).
Roger on the heals. I just pasted from the last fight. Good catch.

Continuing the discussion here so that it doesn't interfere with the game.
Agreed, it's very powerful, probably too much so for a legal feat. The other feat you mention, "Divine Protection" (+Cha to saves), is not legal for Society play however, whereas "War Blessing" is. Regardless, they really increased the power curve lately, especially with the ACG (low-level spells like heightened awareness, long arm, I'm looking at you).

It does come in handy, but I hadn't previously considered it terribly overpowered. It gives access to a couple of first-level spell-like abilities twice per day. I guess if I had taken it at a lower level I would have found it more powerful, but I only recently picked it up.
That said - I'm glad I did!
That's fair. It's just surprising to see all these ACG feats giving out low level class abilities. I haven't seen a lot of the new material in play, but there does seem to be a power creep. Oh well, you guys have basically passed this scenario already anyway. ;)
FIRST PART FINISHED!
Going to keep going in this thread if you guys don't mind.
Everyone please post here letting me know when you are ready to start (purchases, leveling, etc.).

This chronicle will put Terrill at level 10, I'll level him up in the next day or so. I think I'll switch to slow XP track at this point, as I'd like to keep playing him for a bit longer.
If anyone has ideas for what he might spend 12,000 gp on, I'd love to hear them. I can never seem to keep up with all the interesting magic items that come out, so I always feel I'm missing some great option.

Thanks Bold, this was a fun one! Looking forward to the next (three).
Hal is still level 9, but he bought an oathbow! I really thought about something that's probably more useful (+2 holy composite longbow, for example) but I decided that an oathbow is just too darn fun.
Stats will be updated by tonight and I'm ready to go!
@Desmond: Your chronicle has been changed to fit Slow Track.
@Terrill: How about the Desnan Ring from ISG? Ring of Feather Falling that can cast Magic Missile for like 3,500 GP.

I don't know that one. It's in the Inner Sea World Guide? I didn't find anything by that name. I'm also thinking of the Ring of Tactical Precision, which would work nicely with his teamwork feats.
